Following Through With Promises Made in Description

How many times have you sat through a conference presentation that just didn’t live up to your expectations? Don’t be that kind of presenter! In this session, librarians will provide successful examples of creating a catchy description, tips on how to stay on topic, the art of capturing your audience’s attention and many more secrets to their success. With backgrounds in music & theater/performance, teaching and sales, these presenters are skilled at innovative classroom instruction and various conference breakout sessions and want to share their knowledge so that you never have to worry about attendees snoozing or heckling during (or after) your presentation.
